FYI, we have started to completely rework the repository layer. I have
committed a draft of the new interfaces Node, Property, and Repository
(new methods at the bottom). The idea is to deprecate all the old stuff
later on. 
The new interfaces are supposed to eventually support querying, but it's
not there yet. What I have in mind is something like
repository.getQueryManager().executeQuery("...my query...") which would
return a set of nodes. I hope this could be useful when writing a repo
implementation which is based on an (xml-) database.
Probably it doesn't make much sense at the current stage to write new
repo implementations using the old interfaces. 
Any feedback about the new interfaces is welcome...
